by ChandaDiane - est. 1975 on January 5th, 2009
Yes. I would hate to have to bust out my life saving skills, though. I mean, what if my efforts still did not save them. How do I live with THAT??? what if it were my child???
OMG!!! GREAT... not gonna sleep tonight... will be too busy hoovering over my children making sure they are breathing :(
by Angelsite on July 15th, 2009
The new rules are 30 reps to 2 breaths, in most cases. Though you have to do atleast 100+ a minute for it to be effective....yes I would know what to do : )
by bitechick on July 8th, 2009
yes, I had to peform abdo thrusts on a client the other day ( healthcare setting ) and I had never done it before, and it was textbook! I saved her life! my advice is (not that you are asking for advice) is attend a first aid top up class regulary and you use the skill if you need it!
by R U Sirius on February 4th, 2009

Yes, I did a first aid course 2 years ago through St Johns. I've never had to do CPR on anyone in real life though so I'm really worried that I'd forget & do it wrong because of panic.

by Sid on January 28th, 2009
No. I was trained in it but that was so many years ago and without any refresher courses, I wouldn't remember how to do it properly.
by thepaisleysnail on January 28th, 2009
Yes; and I have had to do so in the past. That said, I wouldn't blame anyone for being confused with the almost annual changes in procedures etc.
Availability and uptake of training is the key.

Yes I am pretty sure I can.I took the course and refreshers.

I have been taught that in my first aid classes.
Never done it in real life.
But I could manage a CPR if the need arises in a first aid situation.

by Ambrose the Colossal Praying Mantis on October 14th, 2009
Trained for this 13 years ago and managed to damage "Annie" when doing the chest compressions. I turned out to be the dummy. I suppose if it was a matter of life and death I couldn't make things any worse and instinct would kick in.
by LeopoldClanner on October 13th, 2009
Yes, Yes I would.
In fact, I teach CPR, and my brother is a paramedic planning to apply for what he assures me is one of the worlds best paramedical service.
by j ninja... on October 14th, 2009
With my knowledge.. The sucker's gonna die.. :(
by Arbiteus on October 28th, 2009
yeah. 30:2, 1 compression every .6 seconds.
by StarBright on October 14th, 2009
Many years ago, Yes I performed CPR in a Ambulance that showed up with only the driver. My friend had a stroke at a young age. The oxygen source was in a suitcase like set up. Every time the driver turned a corner the lid fell shut on the air hose. I was giving CPR and had to stop to open the lid. She died while I was giving her CPR.
The driver pulled over on the freeway and tried his best to bring her back. Discovered later there was nothing either one of us could have done. It was an awful experiece however.
She was expecting family she hadn't seen in 6 years. My children and I went over to help her get ready and discovered her unconscious, phone in one hand and wet face cloth in the other.
by AEDLifepower on October 13th, 2009
Yeah I can and I know the right technique how to do it. I have no problem doing this.

yea I had to perform cpr on my daughter when she was very young and the doctor said it saved her , my father had just shown us days before this took place because he had learned it and said you have kids and you never know when you may need to use cpr on them and for that I was so thankful
Can you get a cpr certification online?
